A complete wood fired oven, in kitset form
The kitset includes the main oven components, insulation, finishing materials, hardware and practical accessories needed for the standard build and curing process.
Why this kitset is different
-
Built to retain heat
The refractory dome and cooking floor absorb and store heat, while insulation helps keep that heat in the oven for longer.
-
More than pizza
Start with pizza, then use the falling heat for bread, roasting and slow cooking, with up to 12 hours of useful cooking from one firing.
-
A self supporting oven
The oven has its own structural base, so it does not need a concrete benchtop. It simply needs a stable, level stand strong enough to support it.
Made by us, in small batches
We manufacture the major cast components ourselves rather than simply sourcing a finished oven. Each refractory dome, self supporting base, entrance, chimney section and outer shell is cast in moulds, finished and prepared by us before becoming part of the kitset.

Key specifications
Internal baking area: 900 mm
External dimensions: 1100 × 1165 × 1095 mm
Door opening: approximately 450 × 250 mm
Recommended stand height: 850 mm

The oven has its own supporting base, so it does not require a concrete benchtop. It needs a stable, level stand or frame capable of supporting the completed oven.
Engineered to be built by you
The main oven components are prefabricated and fit together in a clear sequence. There is no bricklaying or cutting required for the standard build.
Allow around 10 to 15 hours of hands on assembly time, spread over a few days so the mortars, adhesive and finishing materials can set properly between stages.
What you need to build it
Basic DIY experience and common tools are enough for the standard build. There is no bricklaying or cutting required.
Some components are heavy, so you will need another person to help with lifting and positioning. A full tool list is provided with the assembly instructions.
One firing. Up to 12 hours of useful cooking.
Start with pizza at the highest heat, then keep cooking as the temperature gradually falls.
Use the retained heat for bread, roasting and slow cooking later on, without starting again from a cold oven.
